NPF-960 lifespan? or charger broken?

Dear all,

 

To power my mixpre-6 I am using Samsung NPF-960 batteries.

Since a few weeks it seems the batteries aren't charging properly :

- after a night of charging the battery indicator on the mixpre6 isn't all the way into the green, and the indicator jumps around sometimes between half-full and three-quarters-full. As if the Mixpre can't figure out how much power is left in the NPF

- on the charger itself, while charging, the % indicator continually goes up & back down when I insert a battery : 60%-70%-80-90-60-70-80-90-....

 

Do you think this problem is due to the battery itself being worn out or due to the charger being faulty?

 

I bought the NPF's about 2 years ago and have used them quite a lot, though far from as much as I reckon a pro location sound recordist would (i.e. almost daily). I use it for field recording trips, usually about 1 week long, once every 3 months.

 

This is the NPF+ charger I am using : https://www.shop-ftt.de/de/starterpack-kortwich-np-f

 

thanks in advance for any advice!
